That is something I worry about -- that it will be turned into just another generic sci fi action film, like they did when they raped Starship Troopers. Despite the fact that the characters in The Forever War are soldiers in a centuries-long interstellar war, remarkably little combat is actually depicted in the book. It's more a novel about PTSD, loss, and detachment from society.
